WHY IS ERGODICITY IMPORTANT? AN EXAMPLE My cousin was born in a mountain village in the French Alps. Like many there, he learned to ski before reading. I am a good skier, but I remember the humiliation when I was 14 and he was 6, seeing him surpass me, swift as a bullet.
The big question is whether the individuals involved in breaking the law are still there. If so, I'm not sure a cash settlement at the uni level will change behavior much. Group incentives are relatively ineffective unless translated into individual ones x.com/cremieuxrecuei…
This is insane. 'For hundreds of millions of dollars, we pinky-promise we'll stop breaking the law that we're obligated to follow anyway. We swear!' This is basically admitting to what I found a month ago: Columbia was still violating the law against racial discrimination.
I agree. And it’s not just about Wokeism, but also about the unaddressed decline of peer review and rise of academic fraud, the uncontrolled increase of higher ed opportunity costs, and other major externalities on society. I still need to hear a good counter argument that…
like honestly people are mad at Trump for going after higher ed and I’m mad at everyone for not going after higher ed enough they keep research around as a hostage puppy while they lavish honors on all their pet commies rotten to the core nytimes.com/2025/07/23/nyr…
Mentorship meetings are ineffective when participants sit in a room without a clear idea of what to discuss. A simple fix is to use a printed sheet with topic options to start conversations and maintain focus on progress-generating discussions. An example below.
It’s always a problem when the government abdicates its tasks (fighting crime) to work on the private sector’s tasks (running supermarkets). washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/07…
For reasons I don't understand, fertility experts routinely talk past an elephant in the room: the declining birthrate is downstream of declining relationship formation. I suppose "selfish couples who hate babies" are a more respectable topic than the death of romance (and sex)?
Takes like this come with the assumption that, had Italy kept the Lira, its politicians – the same who eg. used debt to subsidize at a 110% (!) house renovations with no cost-benefit prioritization (!!) – would not have printed the hell out of it to fund bad-ROI investments.
Eye-opening, change in real wages between 1994 and 2024 in %. Just look at Italy and Spain, three lost decades. What were politicians smoking when they introduced the Euro there?
Domestic capitalists: spending their days creating infrastructure for people (customers, sellers, colleagues) to cooperate. Domestic communists: spending their days setting us all against each other (“employees vs entrepreneurs,” “renters vs landlords,” etc.). The problem is,…
Correct.
You would fail a college student if they wrote this on an exam and yet the NYT publishes it as if it’s insightful
Would Americans be better off without Costco? Zephyr Teachout says yes. I say no. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…
While this thread make some good points (harvesting rates are tiny, etc.), I would also point out that the best way to keep me on the donor list is to take this issue super seriously, as if the only acceptable rate was 0. Mentions of the idea that nonzero rates are acceptable is…
This is horrible, but I wanna understand what the scale of this is. My timeline is now full of "you should get yourself off organ donor lists". I don't believe doctors harvest organs from patients who'd otherwise live at a rate that exceeds 1 in a million.
I’m glad that the administration took the long-term approach to building trust (investigating disturbing cases) rather than the short-term one (hiding them under the rug). The latter always backfires, with large structural problems.
Under @SecKennedy's leadership, HHS is restoring integrity and transparency to organ procurement and transplant policy by putting patients’ lives first. These reforms are essential to restoring trust, ensuring informed consent, and protecting the rights and dignity of prospective…
Presenting (and teaching) aren't about what is said, but about what is remembered. x.com/DellAnnaLuca/s…
Ten tips to become a better presenter 1) If you need a script because you can’t remember it, your audience won’t remember your talk either. 2) … Luca-dellanna.com/presentation-t…
Taxes and regulation are unfortunate necessities that disqualify whoever is excited about them.

When we talk about karma, we think too much about how the universe gives back and too little about how our actions influence our own future behaviors.
